[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I just mentioned on another thread, my son had his party at an indoor venue on Saturday.  I didn't consider cancelling for a moment.  And everyone who had planned to come, did.  I also took him and his two best friends out to the movies the night before (on his actual bday), and their parents didn't think twice.  I personally wouldn't change it, but that's just me.

This mindset just baffles me.  Do you really not understand what's going on?[/quote]

+1. Washing hands does not prevent breathing in virus infected air. If you want to live life you pay attention.[/quote]

Not to mention 3/4/5 year olds constantly touch their faces and mouths. Sure after the party you can clean their hands but would basically be a free for all during the actual play part of the party.  [/quote]

My son just turned 10 and is not a toddler or preschooler.  I definitely understand what's going on; I don't live under a rock.  :roll:  But I'm not going to become a hermit.  I certainly will wait until things die down before I visit my elderly parents or in-laws; however, you can't just curl up into a fetal position and worry that a virus is going to get you.  It's also not understood to be transmitted through the air, just FYI.[/quote]

What? That’s the main method of transmission.[/quote]

I meant in the absence of being around actively sneezing/coughing people who have the virus, but I retract that statement, as it is misleading.[/quote]
